-Sara brought up the MWCA Annual Conference. She got permission to take her
personal car and will be taking Paul, Damien and Wyatt. She was wondering if
anyone on the board was able to go and she would get them registered. None of
the board could go.
-Discussion was held on Absinthe Wormwood and making it a county listed
noxious weed. Sara said she would talk to some of the people at conference and
find out what we need to do to get it listed. Roddy asked about the Poison
Hemlock and after discussion it was decided to send out a newsletter about
Wormwood and Hemlock to educate landowners and have them look out for
them.
-Sara will also talk to Greta Dige with MDA and see if she can do a newspaper
article on weeds in town that we can place in the paper for more education for
everyone in Baker since we struggle to reach them currently.
